It'll be a life saver if you guys can actually help me with this problem.. Please.

There are 500 cars in Frank's junkyard; 350 blue and 150 red. If Joe randomly selects 25 cars from his yard, what's the probability he'll get from 14 to 20 blue cars, inclusive? Could this be considered an almost binomial event?
A. P(x=14) + P(x=15) + P(x=16) + P(x=17) + P(x=18) + P(x=19) This is an almost binomial event.
B. binomcdf(25,.7,20) - binomcdf(25,.7,14) This is almost binomial event.
C. (25/14)(.7)^14(.3)^11 + (25/15)(.7)^15(.3)^10 + ... + (25/19) (.7)^19(.3)^6 + (25/20)(.7)^20(.3)^5 This is an almost binomial event
D. P(14 < x <20) Not an almost binomial event.
E. binompdf(25,.7,20) - binompdf(25,.7,14) Not an almost binomial event
